"Aren't you afraid, or greedy?"

Jiang Qianxue broke free from Lin Jing's hand and said with an angry expression on her face.

Lin Jing was flustered. He had already thought of how to explain it to Jiang Qianxue before coming here, but the words that came out of his mouth were a completely different matter. Now that Jiang Qianxue had completely misunderstood, perhaps she was even more disappointed, causing him to be even more at a loss.

Jiang Qianxue saw Lin Jing's anxious face turn red, and even sweat began to appear on his forehead. She sighed in her heart, and her tone slightly softened as she said, "Fine, what do you want to say? Once you finish speaking, I will listen to you seriously. I definitely won't think too much about it."

Upon hearing Jiang Qianxue's words, Lin Jing, who had already sunk into the depths of the water and fire, seemed to see hope. His face immediately revealed a happy smile. "Qianxue, thank you for believing me. I …"

"Don't speak nonsense. What do you want? If you have any plans, just say it." Jiang Qianxue interrupted Lin Jing with an indifferent expression, as if she was somewhat impatient.

Lin Jing froze. In his mind, he thought to himself, "Lin Jing, Lin Jing, how could you be so stupid? Before we came here, you had already thought it through, but now you can't say a single word. Now that Qianxue is willing to give you the chance, don't you want to explain yourself clearly?"

After scolding himself, Lin Jing finally recovered some clarity. He turned to Jiang Qianxue and said, "Qianxue, I like you from the bottom of my heart. I'm willing to give my all for you. But that's not why I tied you up with a marriage certificate. I think you're right. Your marriage, your happiness, should not be used as a bargaining chip. "

"When we were getting married, the old granny was the one who arranged it. You actually didn't want to marry her at all. Although you have been kind to me all these years, I understand that you are unhappy. So I was thinking, since our marriage can't make you happy, why keep it? And recently, we've encountered so many things, and you've already felt a lot of pressure, I don't want you to bear any more. "

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing carefully noticed the change in Jiang Qianxue's expression. Seeing that nothing abnormal had happened, she continued, "So I thought, if I agree to divorce you, then you'll be free to do whatever you want. Dad and the others won't force you on this matter."

"You think so?" Jiang Qianxue asked as she looked at him with a cold glint in her eyes.

"Yes, Qianxue, I really don't have any …" Lin Jing suddenly felt that something wasn't quite right, and he wanted to continue explaining.

"Hehe, do you really think that they forced me to divorce you because they didn't like you? You're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you know that? Let us divorce each other just to sell me for a better price! " Jiang Qianxue said with a desperate expression.

Seeing Jiang Qianxue like this, and hearing her say this, Lin Jing's heart instantly shook. He looked at her anxiously and asked, "How could this happen?" Didn't the old granny force me to divorce you, and even plot against me, all so that she could drive me out of the Jiang family? Now that I've agreed, what else do they want? "

"What did you say?" What design frame-up? "What happened?" Upon hearing Lin Jing's words, Jiang Qianxue's brow immediately furrowed as she asked doubtfully.

Lin Jing was stunned for a moment before reacting. He had blurted out the information in a moment of desperation. As he looked at Jiang Qianxue's face, he felt some hesitation in his heart. According to his original plan, he had made it clear to Jiang Qianxue that even though the two of them had divorced, he would officially start pursuing her. At the same time, in the future, he would work even harder and let Jiang Qianxue see his change. He would then genuinely like her and marry her.

If he had told Jiang Qianxue at the beginning that Old Granny Jiang had planned to force him to divorce and leave the Jiang family, Jiang Qianxue would definitely find it hard to accept it. She might even be greatly saddened by it. But now that he wanted to hide it, he couldn't. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Jing decided to tell the truth.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Jing organized his thoughts and said, "Earlier, when you left the store, I was worried about you, so I chased after you. In the end, I was stopped by Jiang Hai. He told me that the old lady was looking for me and had sent you over, and I followed her without thinking too much about it. When we got home, we found out it was a trap. "

"I don't know who opened the secret room in the study and stole the crystal dish from inside. At that time, I was the only one there. Uncle Yun and the other servants blocked me off. In that situation, even if I had a hundred mouths, I wouldn't be able to tell. "

"After a meeting in the villa, I agreed to the old lady's request and agreed to divorce you. At the same time, I also agreed to leave the Jiang Clan and never return!"

"Why, why is it like this? Was this something grandma planned all by herself? "Why would she do that? She forced me to marry you, and now she's forced us to divorce. What do I count as in her eyes?" Jiang Qianxue said excitedly when she heard this.

A wave of pain came from Lin Jing's chest. As he looked at the heartbroken Jiang Qianxue, he felt as if he had been slashed by a knife. Resisting the anger and sadness in his heart, Lin Jing grabbed Jiang Qianxue's hand and gently said, "Qianxue, it's alright. I believe everything will be fine."

Jiang Qianxue raised her head to look at Lin Jing. With a desperate expression, she said, "They've even done such a thing. How can they get better?" "Now, even you have left me. In the Jiang Clan, I am just a tool for them to earn benefits. Wherever there is a higher price, send me there!"

"No, believe me, I would never let that happen! "Even if I'm not in the Jiang Clan anymore, if anyone dares to do this, I will definitely not let them go!" Lin Jing said with a resolute expression.

"Then what are you going to do next?" "After leaving the Jiang Clan, where can you go?" Jiang Qianxue's heart stirred as she looked at him and asked.

"I plan to go to the Precious Forest Academy. This way, I'll be able to stay near you. If there's anything else you need, I can also show up in the shortest amount of time possible." Lin Jing thought for a moment. Sooner or later, he would have to tell Jiang Qianxue about him being the owner of Baolin's Landing. He might as well start to get used to it now.

"Paulinus? Will the other side agree to your visit? " Jiang Qianxue's expression changed slightly when she heard this. She asked somewhat worriedly.

"Haha, don't worry, there won't be any problems. Mister Lin is a very good person, and Manager Feng is very easy to talk to. I believe that they will accept me, and after I learn my skills there, they will work hard to create a new world!" Lin Jing chuckled, his expression full of confidence.

"Fine, since you have already decided, I have nothing else to say. Just follow your own thoughts. I believe that you will definitely succeed." When Jiang Qianxue heard this, she finally nodded her head and agreed with Lin Jing's thoughts.

In the beginning, the two of them seemed to have fallen into a desperate situation. There was no way out for them. However, once he thought it through, he would be able to get past that hurdle in his heart. In fact, everything wasn't as scary as it looked. It wasn't as if Lin Jing had nowhere to go, and Jiang Qianxue wasn't so easily taken care of by others.

As long as he maintained his composure, he could withstand all the pressure. The two of them slowly began to understand each other, and their mood naturally rose a bit. Jiang Qianxue peeked at Lin Jing, her face blushing and her expression somewhat bashful.

The two of them had been married for several years and had always respected each other. Although Lin Jing had revealed his feelings before, he had never revealed such a straightforward confession like before. Furthermore, Jiang Qianxue's attitude towards Lin Jing had been different in the past. Even if he said something, she didn't care that much.

However, after having experienced so much recently, her thoughts had completely changed. She began to pay more and more attention to Lin Jing. Even at some point, in the deepest part of her heart, even if she didn't dare to admit it, that tiny bit of affection still existed objectively.

Seeing Jiang Qianxue's suddenly shy face, Lin Jing was stunned for a moment. He then felt his heart beating rapidly. Facing the people he liked, no one would be able to maintain their calmness under these circumstances.

Jiang Qianxue sneakily glanced at Lin Jing and discovered that he was staring at her with his eyes wide open. She felt a burst of panic and lowered her head.

After feeling awkward for a while, the two felt that something was wrong. They both said at the same time, "You …"

After the collision, their emotions had become even more complicated. Jiang Qianxue lowered her head in embarrassment and said in a low voice, "You first."

Lin Jing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since we've already made up our minds, I feel that we'll have to work hard on our own. Didn't you always want to enter the Arts Department? It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this period of time to thoroughly study it."

"Mm, you too. You must work hard in the Treasure House and learn well from Manager Feng. Don't be like in the Treasure House where you only clean up every day, don't ask questions, and don't look at anything." Jiang Qianxue said like a young wife worrying about her husband.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted in the café for a long time. After the initial shyness and awkwardness, everything actually went according to plan. After all, they had already known each other for a few years. They were already husband and wife, so they were quite familiar with each other and not that awkward.

It wasn't until it was late that the two of them walked out of the café. Although he had already promised to leave the Jiang Clan, Lin Jing couldn't just stay there. He still had all his things at home, so he had to pack them up and bring them out. In addition, Lin Jing also needed to find a new residence.

Along the way, he secretly sent a message to Shopkeeper Feng requesting his help in finding a house and followed Jiang Qianxue back home. Jiang Yun and Liu Fen had returned a long time ago. Upon seeing the two of them enter the house together, their faces immediately darkened.
